Pakasit and his family have created a warm and welcoming accommodation for those visiting Bangkok. After long days of exploring the city, we were so happy to have this BnB to return to. But know that it's not a normal airbnb. It's a boutique hotel, basically, not someone's home.

The design in fantastic. Old red brick and assorted industrial-age antiques make the common areas a great place to sit and read, chat, play with Kwop (the Siamese cat), or enjoy their delicious, home-made breakfast (on the house).

Pakasit was very helpful by providing us with a map of local sights, restaurants, and public transportation. A short list of Thai phrases was also included which we found so useful that we kept it with us as we travelled throughout Thailand. Pakasit also worked with us when we had some travel issues. We weren’t certain whether we would need another night in Bangkok or not and he was understanding and flexible — his engagement in that instance made our lives much easier.

If you are a light sleeper, we recommend requesting a room on the 2nd floor. The 1st floor ceilings are quite thin and footsteps, as well as conversations, from the 2nd floor come straight through the floor. If you are on the 2nd floor, assume every conversation you have can be heard by the tenant below you.

Also, Bangkok is a BIG city. And this place is very far from everything and, thus, it's not the kind of place that you can go back to throughout the day. You're there in the early morning (for the nice provided breakfast) and you're there at night. We liked not being enclosed by skyscrapers, but the surrounding area was quite poor with lots of stray dogs -- then again, there seems to be stray dogs everywhere in Thailand.

This accommodation is a calm and clean oasis away from the madness of Bangkok with fantastic ownership. If this fits your bill, book now and enjoy!
